Ihubo 141
Ihubo likaDavida
1 Oh Thixo, ngiyakubiza; woza masinyane kimi.
Zwana ilizwi lami nxa ngikubiza.
2 Sengathi umkhuleko wami ungema phambi kwakho njengempepha;
kuthi ukuphakama kwezandla zami kube njengomhlatshelo wakusihlwa.
3 Ngibekela umlindi womlomo wami, Oh Thixo,
qaphela umnyango wezindebe zami.
4 Ungayekeli inhliziyo yami ihugwe ngokubi,
ngingene ezenzweni ezimbi
labantu abayizigangi;
mangingadli izibiliboco zabo.
5 Ake ngitshaywe ngumuntu olungileyo, kungumusa;
kake angikhuze, kungamafutha ekhanda lami.
Ikhanda lami kaliyikukwala.
Ikanti umkhuleko wami uhlezi umelana lezenzo zezigangi.
6 Ababusi bazo bazaphoselwa phansi emaweni,
lababi bazafunda ukuthi amazwi ami ayekhulunywe kuhle.
7 Bazakuthi, “Njengalowo olimayo eqeqebula umhlabathi,
kanjalo amathambo ethu achithiziwe emlonyeni weliba.”
8 Kodwa amehlo ami agxile kuwe, Oh Thixo woBukhosi;
kuwe ngiyaphephela unganginikeli ekufeni.
9 Ngivikela emijibileni asebeyithiyele mina,
ezifini ezithiywe yizigangi.
10 Akuthi ababi bawele emambuleni abo,
mina ngidlule kuhle ngiphephile.
